Great work and good explanations as to how you selected the capes and their rankings. The Good Captain, with his transformation from a young waif to a mighty hero with the utterance of a single word, will always capture the imagination of kids and adults alike. But the appearance of the Big Red Cheese in his wonderfully arrayed and colorful costume with it&#39;s classically imaginative cape totally cinched his immortality among adventurous minded readers and viewers of all ages. <br />And, yes, he has always been the &quot;red-headed stepchild&quot; of DC ever since they adopted him after selfishly snatching him from his parent company (there&#39;s a hero&#39;s journey in itself) and shamelessly slighting and leaving his name dangling in the wind for any opportunistic interloper to grab on to and... Wait! What! Oh yes, that did happen with the ever watchful and opportunistic Marvel Comic boys. And as a further affront to Cap and his loyal followers, DC and the gang have now seen fit to drop his good name and, further, totally besmirch his innocent upbringing with a demonic look and personality overhaul of such Biblically epic foolhardiness that it can only be commented on with, &quot;C.C., forgive them , for they know not what they do.&quot;<br /><br />-Jackson BostwickHero Envyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737574058335177140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-86032893541642115292012-07-13T07:25:48.086-04:002012-07-13T07:25:48.086-04:00Nice list, but it&#39;s really nice to see Hyperio...Nice list, but it&#39;s really nice to see Hyperion get some exposure (and featuring a comment from the characters creator!

And thanks for the help on Hyperion, which I already updated. Thanks again!<br /><br />Hi John--<br /><br />Nice little article. If I had room, I&#39;d be tempted to run it in Alter Ego. Flattered that one character I designed visually, down to the point of drawing the first sketch of him, is on it: Hyperion. But I don&#39;t believe the article mentions the one unique thing about that cape... the fact that it fastens only on one shoulder. The point of my design, of course, was that Hyperion would be a copy of Superman but match almost none of his costume lines precisely (Captain Marvel had had a similar approach in 1939, though they did give him the same hair color). Of course, it wasn&#39;t really quite unique: I swiped the one-shoulder-cape from Dynamic Man back in the 40s... it&#39;s the only thing I remembered (or remember) about that character.<br /><br />Roy ThomasHero Envyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737574058335177140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-69546373291136293602012-06-19T16:48:52.943-04:002012-06-19T16:48:52.943-04:00When DC Co-Publisher sends me a message about my b...When DC Co-Publisher sends me a message about my blog, I&#39;m putting it up!!!

I might add the Shroud, from Marvel comics to this list. He&#39;s a relatively minor character, but his large, flowing black cape adds to his mysterious and threatening aura, much like Batman, plus I believe the cape actually has some inherent powers, which makes it even more cool.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-2122895480865118542012-06-19T08:20:53.765-04:002012-06-19T08:20:53.765-04:00I don&#39;t agree with the ranking and I would put...I don&#39;t agree with the ranking and I would put X-men&#39;s Ororo Munroe aka Storm and Magneto and delete Hyperion and Vision on the list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-20390252199248594192012-06-19T03:16:49.562-04:002012-06-19T03:16:49.562-04:00nice picsnice picslive sportshttp://sportsfunia.comnoreply@blogger.com
